Canadians Healthier Than Americans

ATLANTA - Another country can brag that its people are healthier than Americans. Harvard Medical School reports Americans are 42% more likely than Canadians to have diabetes, about one-third more likely to have high blood pressure, and 12% more likely to have arthritis. The study in the American Journal of Public Health comes less than a month after researchers found middle-aged, white Americans are much sicker than their counterparts in England.
